One Ingredient that comes from grapes is resveratrol and it can have a very positive effect on telomere health.From the Resveratrol Wikipedia article -The first mention of resveratrol was in a Japanese article in 1939 by Michio Takaoka. Food sources of resveratrol include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and mulberries.

Resveratrol is known as the super anti-aging nutrient and has been referenced in a number of studies plus over 2000 research publications.

Resveratrol offers a powerful anti-aging benefit that benefits telomere health. By stimulating powerful anti-aging enzymes known as sirtuins, a dose of 15 – 30mg of resveratrol has been shown to significantly increase the healthy lifespan of cells, possibly by as much as 50%. Sirtuin is a protein often called the longevity gene.
